Steps to Follow:
To make this poster by hand:
- Start with a piece of ArtSkills white poster board and lay it out horizontally.
- Line all the edges of your poster with neon green scallop borders. To make these, cut the scallop shape shown in the poster picture above out of ArtSkills neon green poster board using either an ArtSkills Poster Knife or scissors. Be sure to exercise caution when cutting.
- Add your name centered at the top of your poster (just under your top border) using blue ArtSkills Neon Poster Letters on top of black ArtSkills Black and White Poster Letters. Move the blue letters up and to the left a bit before gluing them down to create a drop shadow effect.
- Centered below your name, use blue ArtSkills Jumbo Foam Letters to add "ALL ABOUT ME!"
- Find some clip art images of things that describe you, print and cut them out, then glue them down around your poster.
- Create captions for your clip art images by typing out what each image represents about you. Print these out on yellow paper leaving space around your wording on all four sides. Cut out each caption to leave the words centered between the blank space. Cut some rectangles that are just slightly bigger than each of your captions out of black paper, then glue your captions down centered on top of these. Glue these to your poster near the images they are captioning.
- Add some neon blue star ArtSkills Eye Catchers randomly around your poster to fill in blank spaces.
- Way to go! You now have an attention-grabbing poster that's all about you!
